Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

The tankies are concentrated on three main instances so basically you can either block those completely or just don’t participate in any communities on them. Some do visit the non-politics coms there but I think they always end up interpreting things in a political lens so I avoid them all.
The instances are Lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net.
Actually a lot of the more debate-bro tankies tend to make alts elsewhere to argue. By blocking the big three (if they're federate), you're usually just avoiding the ones who are not very argumentative and of course all the campist-flavored topics which might be annoying.
Yea, but unfortunately the admins and mods of the Tankie Triad are the biggest Tankies around and enforce that through (ironic, because they always complain about censorship) mod action
So the best course of action, if you're not on an instance that defed's from them, is to not reward their comms with activity. A total boycott, no posts, no comments, no upvotes. With a little luck, all the non-tankie users will gradually shift over
lmao
